The prototype DFW B.I; the pilot sat in the rear cockpit. An inset shows it in flight.
A "D.F.W." all-steel biplane, in which the only wood employed is that of the propeller. This machine, which was designed by Mr. Cecil Kny, the Technical Director, will be built in this country as soon as the new works at Richmond are completed. With a full load, including fuel for 5 1/2 hours and two passengers, the machine has climbed to a height of 3,500 ft. in 4 mins. The engine is a 100 h.p. Mercedes, and the speed is 78.4 miles per hour. Inset is a view of the machine in flight. -

The D.F.W. biplane, fitted with 100 h.p. Mercedes engine, on which Oelrich last week beat the world's height record by going up to 7,860 metres.
Like many B-types, the pilot sat in the rear cockpit in the DFW B.I. This unmarked aircraft may be the prototype.
D.F.W. B.II photographed on 22 July 1914. This machine is most probably the 100-hp Mercedes D.F.W that the Admiralty obtained from Brooklands on the outbreak of the war; impressed under Contract No. 49959/14, it received the serial No. 891. -

DFW B.I WARSCHAU. The interesting thing about this aircraft is the wood vaneer used to cover the fuselage. This appears to be made from the Larch tree; this is very flexible before it is dry, but is like steel after it was dry. However, it was too expensive for general use. Very probably pilot Antoni Wroniecki, future member of Jasta 64w, is in the cockpit. He was shot down, wounded, and taken prisoner 14 April 1918 by 1/Lt Douglas Campbell from the 94th Aero Squadron, USAS.

DFW B.I B.451/14 on display in Paris in September 1914 after being captured; a captured Taube is in the background. The early national insignia on the rudder and both sides of all wings are well shown from this angle. Despite being liberally marked with national insignia many aviators were subject to 'friendly fire' due to poor type recognition. (Aeronaut)Другие самолёты на фотографии: DFW Taube - Германия - 1913

DFW B.I QUENTIN (left foreground) and DFW B.II ALICE (right foreground) share the DFW flight school lineup at Lindenthal with a DFW Stahltaube (far right) and other DFW B-types. From right to left in the background, the first three aircraft of DFW B.I, then a DFW B.II, another DFW B.I, and another DFW B.II. The seventh aircraft in the lineup at far left is likely a B.I although it is not clear enough for positive identification. A DFW B.I is in front of the hangar in the middle background and the tail visible to the left of that hangar belongs to a DFW B.II. The 'banana' wing planform of the DFW B.I contrasts clearly with the rectangular wing planform of the DFW B.II. The leading edge of the fin is straight in the B.I but curved in the B.II, the opposite of their wings.

To taxi the prototype Floh the pilot had to stand up to see over the high wing and fuselage. In addition to being highly streamlined, the DFW T 28 was very small, both factors contributing to its speed. DFW B.I trainers are in the background at DFW's Lubeck-Travemunde facility. (Peter M.

J.Herris - DFW Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (29)
Photo of armed DFW C.80/15. Although this appears to be a modified DFW B.I, the serial starts with 'C', not 'B', indicating the aircraft was designed to be armed at the DFW factory. Other than the gun and mounting, this aircraft was a standard DFW B.I with side radiators and 150 hp Benz Bz.III engine. Was C.80/15 the prototype conversion, or was the prototype conversion the aircraft without serial number shown on the previous pages? In any case, C.80/15 appears to be a transitional aircraft between the unarmed DFW B.I and the later DFW C.I.

Armed DFW B.I. Although initially unarmed, some B-types were later modified to have a flexible gun for the observer. The elevated gun ring above the observer's cockpit on this DFW B.I gave a 360° field of fire above the upper wing. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/Museum of Flight)

The observer occupied the front cockpit in DFW B-types, resulting in the complex gun mounting shown that enabled the observer to have a 360° field of fire above the aircraft. Were all these conversions performed at the factory, or were factory-designed and built kits supplied to the field for the conversions?

Repaired, it was flown by Flik 13 until June 1915, then as a trainer with Flek 2. DFW B.I 01.08 was written-off in June 1917.

В.Кондратьев Самолеты первой мировой войны
DFW B-I/C-I/C-II
Двухместный цельнодеревянный трехстоечный биплан. Отдельные элементы конструкции (межкрыльевые стойки, тележка шасси, каркасы оперения, рулей и элеронов) выполнены из стальных труб каплевидного сечения.
DFW В-I разработан в начале 1914 года на лейпцигской фирме Дойче Флюгцойгверк. Фабричное обозначение машины MD-14. Её непосредственным предшественником был биплан "Марс", на котором немецкие летчики воевали в составе турецкой армии в балканских войнах 1912-1913 гг. За характерную серповидную форму крыльев, предназначенную, по замыслу авторов, для повышения продольной устойчивости, самолет получил прозвище "летающий банан".
С начала войны В-I применялся в качестве разведчика на западном и восточном фронтах. Весной 1915-го "банан" модернизировали, установив на него более мощный мотор и пулемет "Парабеллум" на кольцевой ферме над верхним крылом. Для стрельбы наблюдатель, размещенный впереди летчика, должен был вылезать из кабины и вставать на сиденье.
Несмотря на то, что подобная система была не только неудобной, но и опасной (наблюдатель при работе с оружием полностью загораживал обзор пилоту и при любых маневрах мог просто выпасть из машины), в 1915 году построили 130 аппаратов данного типа. В связи с установкой пулемета, DFW перевели в класс "вооруженных бипланов", присвоив ему индекс C-I.
